Quick Killer

Quick Killer (died 1880) was an Apache chief during the late 19th century. He led a band of Apache warriors on a campaign of cutting telegraph wires, blowing up railroad bridges, and attacking railroad workers in 1880 in response to the United States' construction of a new railroad between Dodge City and Empire City; the railroad ran through Apache land. Quick Killer and his warriors were unable to destroy the Dodge City railroad bridge, however, and he was killed by hired deputy Colton White.
